Psalms 114

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?

[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
